Hello, thank you for your questions and interest in Waves Platform.
Old thread of it was a lot better, and also there were a huge amount of debates and more fuds, which can give us more of the ideas of this project
This thread is dominated by bots posting mindless repetitive garbage to boost the page count, the amount of useful informative posts is very low, almost makes this thread pointless to follow. At least when a thread is over run by FUD it can help if the fud raises concerns that get addressed, the shill fest we have here achieves nothing.
Agreed. I suspect a lot of the old FUD posters made so much money last year they've retired. Or perhaps they moved on to sexier projects. Who cares about #40 alt coin? We need a new gen of nay-sayers. This thread is boring, and the price moves when the market moves, regardless of Waves milestones. Full nodes release (Oct. 2016), DEX release (Feb. 2017), "fastest blockchain" upgrade (Dec. 2017). Nothing team actually does has yet affected a big break-out. Why will smart contracts be any different?
The launch of smart contracts feature is supposed to come out in two stages. At first, the non-Turing complete contracts using RIDE language will implementation process of smart contracts via smart assets and smart accounts. Itll be focussing on account handling and making Waves much more secure, flexible and powerful. In the second stage, the implementation of Turing-complete contracts using RIDEON language was completed. Waves outdid its several competitors with their phased approach towards the launch of smart contracts.
Kind regards,
Waves Community manager.
Thanks for your response Waves Support, although it doesn't address the points raised regarding the spam bots or the lack of price movement in relation to development.
